Thanks for the advice in this pic... I just updated the pic to reflect the uncolored trafic light - I decided not to change the cropping after - When I do it seems (to me) to loose the effect of the "Corner" that the building is located on so I left it as is.
Hi Dru,
Looks better with the traffic light uncoloured. Croppingwise I suggest you try leaving the top of the picture intact and cut off a bit from the bottom (approx from the triangular stair at the entrence of the building) and also a bit from the right hand side of the image (so that also the black thing just behind the traffic light disappears). Don't know how it will look, but it's worth a try.

Hi Dru,
I agree with Fred that this would work even better without coloured traffic lights. Moreover, I also agree with you that this was too good an opportunity to pass up and had to be done. Surely this gallery would not be complete without it! ;o)
Without being able to see what's upstairs and whether you had any scope to take in more, I would probably try to avoid splitting the upper and lower section across the centre with the blue awning as you have done here. I would have tried to take a couple more shots to see what wider angles to take in higher and lower framing might do. As it is, you could play around with cutting the top off a bit (or even the bottom for that matter) to see what that variation looked like. However, of course I have no formula for what might work best for you, just some options I might explore if it was me. Thanks for a unique post.
Cheers, John
Now this is the the colour we all adhere to, isn't it. Good idea, but I would have left the traffic lights b&w to even further enhance the good ol' Minolta blue. Anyway, a nice entry, Dru.
